Does anybody own this?
Are the lollipops printed on both sides?
How tall are the juice cans?
Photos with Wellies and the 18 inch girls would be greatly appreciated.

What a fun collectible. Why can't it be refilled?

[a href="http:// "]link[/a] [a href="http:// "]link[/a] I recently purchased the slow cooker set because I have a few customers who requested meals to fit in it. I hadn't intended to buy it, don't usually purchase AG food sets. With only a few exceptions, I was pleasantly surprised by the quality and detail in this set. I would give this set a solid A for play value and durability and a C for scale. The sizes are just all over the place. First the slow cooker, or crock pot. It is made of plastic but has a nice heft to it. I think it will stand up to all but the roughest play. It is a realistic silver color with a blue insert, handles, decorations and clear lid. The knobs are bright pink and the main knob can be turned to low or high. The insert is removable to use as a server. It is a bit smaller than I'd like. It is 9.5 x 7 x 5.5 cm tall. At 1/3 scale, it translates to about 10 3/4 inches wide, considerably smaller than our oval slow cooker. The napkins and potholder are pink cloth with silver embroidery. Very cute, nice quality. The napkins are 7 cm square. Again a bit small. We use cloth napkins and the only napkins that small are cocktail napkins. The plates are plastic. Dinner plates are blue, bread plate is green. All are decorated with thin white lines. I like the versatility. You could mix and match these pretty easily. Dinner plates are 9 cm; bread plate is 4.7 cm Appropriate 1/3 scale. The knife and butter dish. Knife is metal, butter and dish are plastic. This is so cute. Blue bottom, clear removable top. dd, 12 hates that the butter is not removable. 6.2 cm long, again a bit smaller than the real life counterpart, adjusted for scale, the cube of butter nearly an inch shorter than our real cube of butter. The glasses of milk are fine. Plastic, cute design, not terribly realistic. The milk looks very solid to me. Chicken. I know several people are unhappy with the chicken. It is improbably grilled for a slow cooker meal. I think it is one of the best food items AG has done. The color is nice, texture is good, scale is appropriate and it is detailed on both sides. Approximately 5 x 3 cm. Broccoli is not as good as the chicken. Large, green and lumpy. Still, I'm glad to see veggies on the plate. The fruit outside is well done, nice color and texture. The chunks of fruit are a bit of a puzzle. I see raspberries but I'm not sure what the other two things are. Again though, fruit is always a good idea. The barbecue sauce is meh, cute enough but it definitely looks like a toy and our sticker is already coming loose and it has not been played with at all. It has just been sitting on my shelf waiting for this review. Last, the rolls. I wanted to like these. The color is fine, the texture is ok. But they are HUGE! In real life they would be 4 and 1/2 inches tall. I cannot make them look ok with any of the other food. The too-big rolls next to the too-small slow cooker is especially bothersome. I've placed the rolls next to the butter and I'm using a photo with one of AG's mugs just to show what I mean. The mug does not come with this setThe forks are metal, standard AG forks. The tongs are plastic, I could see these breaking over time.

I don't recognize it but It's quite pretty. It is reminiscent of the items made for 2000. Do you have a photo of the necklace?
